Getting your kids to eat healthfully is often a challenge, but when you have a child living with diabetes, it can be even more difficult—but it is also that much more important.

When planning meals for your diabetic child, it’s important to incorporate some of their old favorites, making them in ways that accommodate their new dietary needs. Need some help getting started? Try this Down Home Macaroni and Cheese, courtesy of Kraft Diabetic Choices.

Melt 1 tablespoon of the butter in a large saucepan on low heat. Blend in flour and salt; cook and stir 1 minute. Gradually add the milk; cook, stirring constantly, until thickened. Add prepared cheese product and 1 1/2 cups of the shredded cheese. Stir until melted. Stir in macaroni.
